    Default 1/2 gal Mason Jars set up as feeder jars.

    I have 432 1/2 Gallon Mason jars set up as feed jars with a brass nipple soldered to lid. No need to open the hive just
    insert nipple in 1/4" hole in hive lid. Jars $1.25 each. They are stored in hive bodies as cases that holds 12 jars.
    I also have a gas pump and 275 gallon tote. I could feed 400-500 colonies in 4 hrs. Pump, hose and tote $300.00
    Sold bees no longer need.

    Do you have any pictures you can email to me? I am interested in the jars, lids, nipples and hive lid.
